Playing With Fire || Maeda Riku

008

YunHa looked around the shop with awe in her eyes. It was clear she wanted to come here to see what it was really like.

Riku found that cute and smiled to himself as YunHa inspected every little detail.

"What's it like through your eyes"

Riku asked and YunHa looked at Riku with a big smile on her face.

"When I was growing up, my dad brought me to a boba shop like this often"

Riku hummed and nodded.

"Nostalgia is a good one, what do you want? Come look at the menu"

Riku asked as he approached the counter and looked at the different kinds of parfaits this place had, all hand-made with organic and fresh ingredients.

YunHa walked over to Riku stood next to him and looked at the menu before she quickly made up her mind and pointed to the strawberry kiwi parfait.

"That one? I'll just have a strawberry with strawberry syrup"

Riku looked up and told the cashier what they'd like before he pulled out his wallet and paid.

The cashier told them to go sit at a table and that they'd bring their orders out.

Riku and YunHa found a seat and sat across from each other at a booth.

"You got your first cut already?"

Riku chuckled and nodded.

"I didn't realize it was such a large cut"

YunHa hummed and nodded as she cracked another smile.

"The larger cuts go to the vaults since they're still putting more into the new SM HQ"

"I've heard a ton of stories about the bad times back then"

Riku said and scratched his head. Someone then suddenly pulled up a chair to sit with them.

"Do you two work with NCT?"

YunHa and Riku looked at each other before looking at the figure hiding under their hat. They took off their hat to reveal they were a girl.

"Yes, why do you care?"

YunHa asked and the girl looked around like she was paranoid.

"Let's keep this interaction anonymous, I have information on GG Version 1.0"

That caught the two's attention and they scooted in closer to hear what the girl had to say.

"It's risky to be out in public so openly... listen... they gave it to the government and police, they're going on a rampage and have already collected multiple groups around the city, including Karina's gang"

"Woah woah woah, what do you mean Karina's gang? Where are they?"

"Held inside the penitentiary prison now and I heard they're going after NCT next"

Riku leaned back and blinked a few times before looking at YunHa.

YunHa looked back at Riku and there was fear written all over her face.

"We have to tell Ten"

The girl thanked the two for some of their spare time before she left. Leaving Riku and YunHa to not even wait for their parfaits and leave, going back to Neo HQ to tell Ten what had happened.

"Ten!"

YunHa said as she busted open the doors to Ten's office he lifted his head and saw the two who had panic written all over their faces.

"What happened?"

"They're using GG Version 1.0, tracked Karina's prints, and arrested everyone"

"What?!"

Ten got up and ran out of the office and grabbed his phone to call Karina but to no avail did she pick up.

"Fuck..."

Ten ran off with YunHa and Riku who followed.

Ten grabbed a few agents including, Taeyong, Johnny, Jaehyun, and WinWin and they all went to the meeting room and sat at the table.

"So, who told you guys about this?"

Jaehyun asked after Riku and YunHa told them what happened.

"Everyone who was in Karina's bunker got arrested because of the GG Version 1.0 Taeyeon has been tracking"

"They must've hacked their systems to get their exact location, if not their phones"

Taeyong threw his input in and the discussion started. Ten sat in silence before he came up with a plan.

"We have to get them out"

Ten said and Taeyong stood up and put his hands on the table.

"Are you fucking insane? Do you know just how tight security is in that place?"

"We have the best hackers in all of Seoul for a reason Taeyong, sit down"

Ten ordered and Taeyong sighed, sitting back down as instructed.

"You all are here, we go tomorrow morning, broad daylight? You all may ask and yes, it is our safest option is to get in and out, cause havoc, and make a scene, then we figure out what this GG Version 1.0 is"

Ten explained. Everyone seemed relatively hesitant before they all nodded and Ten put his input in one last time.

"YunHa, you will have Jenna there if anything goes wrong, and Riku..."

Ten stared at Riku for a moment, Riku dreading what Ten might say. Ten had cards in spades.

"Come along with us"
